i am a 17 year old girl and i also have a processing disorder, it is very frusterating to read something and not remember what i just read, it is also very frusterating when someone doesnt know what its like and assume im just using my disability as an exsuse to not do my school. its not an exsuse, when i say i cant do something then i really cant do it but nobody understands what its really like.... some days i just want to crawl into a hole and die because people just think im stupid.... :'(
I've heard of it! Wanna know y? I HAVE IT ALSO!!! Trust me, I know it makes you feel different. I've been there. I've gotten in a lot of trouble skipping school and stuff too. But don't let that get you down. If you had the guts to make a video about this, you-- FOR SURE-- have the guts to get through it all! WWOOOOOOOOHHHOOO!!!
You are my hero! I mean this with all my heart, I'm 17 going to be 18 in 5 months, and I've had this disorder since I was 2 years old, I totally understand your pain. I am so glad that you had the courage to do this video. I know what its like to be different or in an outcast because of this disorder, It isn't easy but we can fight this together. Again, Thank you for posting this video and you're gonna be my hero. :)
(2/2)However though, we need to be at our strongest. Sure it's harder for me to learn French and read musical rhythms correctly because of mixing up sounds or taking longer to process a sound, but I still have hope for something. Yes I get frustrated sometimes with it, but I think I can manage if I've come this far. I just hope that it doesn't get too much worse. Headaches, ear ringing, loss of short term memory because of having to focus on words rather than their meaning; I want it to be gone
(1/2) I can totally relate to you. I'm going to be 16 in a little over a month and I also have capd. Even though I was diagnosed early (2-4yrs.) luckily because of my personality traits I was able to be correctly diagnosed. Even after speech/hearing therapy in my early years, it's still hard to cope with. The bad part is that I've read about it getting worse with age and I'm starting to feel it. Getting the headaches more often, sometimes so bad I can't even listen to people talk...
It's very clear, the rest of your life will be more difficult than others but you will become stronger emotionally as you get older. You are a good person and I am telling you this from the bottom of my heart.
i have might have apd, when i was born i could only hear 15 percent of what was being said because of an ear infection. i surgically got tubes put into my inner ears when i was 3. then i could here about 95 of what's said. I've read alot about it that people with this disorder can sometimes get it from an ear infection. i can still here but it's hard to do sometimes, i'm 15 too by the way. I know what your struggleing through.
amanda, its anna i made an account. i want to let you know that i know what its like to be an outsider from a disorder. after anorexia, everything changed. and i know this is very hard, but i think you are a strong wonderful funny person and im glad to go to school with you and be friends with you :) just stay strong because you have been for so long. i luff yuh <3
@TheAnnaAftershock Thank you Anna. And I too am very proud of you . Anorexia is a bad experience too I am sure but when you think about it, when you fight through it that makes you a stronger person :D I love you too and thank you for commenting. I am very glad as well being friends with you and looking for used condoms in the girls bathroom XDXD
Thank you for being so brave to make this video. I felt compelled to comment and let you know that I am currently a graduate student in audiology and my fellow classmates and I are passionately searching for more knowledge on this disorder, and getting that awareness out to the public. There is more hope than you think hunny.
We're striving and making it our lives work to help people diagnosed with this disorder to be able to cope and find strategies to help deal with this. It does not have to define you. I promise it will only make you try harder and become stronger. I know it's hard, but please try not to get discouraged. We care and help is coming.
Stop being so emo and throwing a little pity-party for yourself. You may have a disorder that prevents you from hearing ever little thing perfectly but that won't kill you. I know anyone can overcome it because I have APD too. I can proudly say that I have a 5.1 GPA and I'm in the top 3% of my class(Junior).

I have APD and I know the difficulties of not being able to hear everything perfectly. But she makes it seem like its something horrible or deathly that prevents people from acting normal. It is not as bad as people thing and won't "fuck up your life." I have a 5.1 weighted GPA and I'm in the top 3% of my class. Anyone can overcome this with hard work and dedication. She needs to stop being so emo about her life.

i understand exactly how you feel i have CAPD too, i was also diagnosed when i was about 5 or 6. I did have earlier signs of speech delay and i was unable to understand emotions when i was really little. I am 17, not much older than you are and i still get very depressed about it. Nobody understands how i feel/ really want to say.
And I know it can be hard because you have the intellectual capacity to understand that there is something different about the way you learn but it doesn't mean your life is over, believe me. There would be no use getting extremely depressed about it. But I wish you all the best and you'll be fine :)
Hey :) It'll be ok, because even if your brain might not process "properly" it doesn't mean you're not "a person", and there are ways you get around any learning barriers you might have, you just have to look in different directions.
This disorder sucks. You feel stupid having to say "what" all the time and people laugh at you because you think that they said something totally different then what they said. Some times I find myself having a completely different conversation with people. People get so angry at you because they think your not listening. It doesn't end there, school is harder than every. . No one understands it, thats probably the hardest part.
I cant tell you how many times I have gotten into trouble because I couldn't understand what was being said to me. My siblings used to make fun of me because I kept saying "what" all of the time and my parents and teachers said I do not pay attention. I have gotten into the habit of saying "speak up and speak clearly", or ignoring people until they thought I was just hard of hearing.
You are definitely not alone. I was diagnosed with it at the age of 39. My whole life has been a huge struggle and I always knew something was wrong. I can relate on every level. I have constant anxiety, I can't follow directions, I don't remember most of anything anyone says to me. Everything gets mixed up even with the slightest background noise. So I am sending you a hug and with all the responses you have.... you are not alone.
@pyramidhead138 well some are mistaking words with others, needing to hear one thing at a time or else you will forget, not being able to concentrate, loud noisy places are a problem there are so much more. you can look up a few more online as well.
dont worry i wish i was with u so we can speak i have apd and its SOOOO hard for me to know onein my school knows wat it feels like to have it and i get depressed all the time with it and i dontknow what my freinds say to me half the time or my family dont worry im with you xx
One particular instance I remember was when my teacher asked me to get a trash can and I came with everything but that because I couldn't follow directions on where it was or what it was. Very embarrassing.. :P CAPD stinks, but hey, I think of it as kind of being special. At least we have a reason for not doing well in school, some people are just lazy! You're smart! Be happy!
You know what I find helpful to do? Just be happy, don't let it get to you. When people call me stupid I get so frustrated, but then I realize they have no idea what I am going through. If they did, they would be slow like me. Don't be upset! Listening isn't everything! It's so overrated! We CAPD people need to stick together! Rock on!
Aside from not being able to understand anything anyone says to me, I mix up my p,d, and b's, get yelled at by my coach when he tells me to do something on the soccer feild and I have no idea what he is saying, and fail miserably at socializing. I got bullied a lot when I was younger to, the sad part, I don't even know what for! I couldn't understand what they were saying to me!.
I made a youtube account just to post on here. I have central auditory processing to! I was diagnosed when I was in first grade. I was put in the immersion group (spanish) and completely failed. That 's when I was diagnosed. I've always felt stupid, even now, my parents get disappointed when I get C's in school. But they don't realize that I can't comprehend what the heck anyone is saying bc everyo ne is talking.
@flippensweet48 You are a very nice person to do that :) I was diagnosed when I was in first grade as well. I am now going onto my junior year of highschool. Yes, My parents understood why I nearly failed elementery school. I didnt get things well with school work and couldnt do much about it.
I was diagnosed in 2003 myself. I was held back in school (started at age 7) and I struggled in math more than other subjects. As of now, I'm 23 years old, and I finished high school at age 19. Never got behind. I will be done with college in less than 3 years. I promise you, if I can do it, you can succeed in any way possible! You look very mature for your age, and I want only the best for you. I would hug you if I could. :-)
@gladeplugins Thank you :) and actually I just found out I passed all 5 parts of my graduation test. In ohio, you take them in 10th grade. I'm in tenth grade I passed them my first try. :) and Hugs are awesome :D
aww sweety. its nothing to be ashamed of. i know what its like to have those thougths you can't learn nothing and you can't be as smart as everyone else in the class. i got sick with a virus at 9 that wiped my memory completely...i went from a straight A student to C's...i couldnt read right, comprehend anything, my vocab sucks and i'm still in school. i'm in college now and i'm 23 and i still think the same things..i watch girls with straight A's i still can't get..ik exactly how you feel
@currya18 i can't even read the texts books in college bc it doesn't stick. and you wanna hit people who act like it wont stick in their head. the most important thign to do is to pull yourself up and not rely on that you have it..because all that does is make you more depressed and more lonely...what you need to do is show that even though you along with many other peple have it you can achieve through school like anyone else. the achievment is 10xs better :)

You are a nice person, and you shouldn't let these things bring you down. Not a lot of people are perfect, and you should do everything you can to live happy. Just try to live happy, and forget about the thing you have. You should tell your parents and friends of what you have, so they know what you are dealing with. Life isn't perfect, and just try your best. Thank you for reading this, I hope you get to live a happy life, and don't look down, but look at what you can do in the end.Thanks

I understand how you feel. I hate the anxiety and depression that can come with having it. I personally never really get much sleep also. I just hate how teachers and parents just don't even understand it and it makes me mad when I try really hard to focus and I can't. I really want to give you a hug right now. I know exactly how you feel. It sucks so much. Hope you can feel better and things go good for you! :)
Awww I'm getting so emotional watching this I know exactly how you feel. And no, you're not autistic. You're artistic!
And fuckkk I was listening, towards the end just thinking, ugh I wanna give you a hug I know exactly how you feel. And then you said it. Wow, you are just an awesome person, okay? I understand the isolationist feeling, the depression, for me the anxiety, and sleep issues. I know what it's like. You're not alone. I have msn and we can relate. Im 16 too: mike_simpson_@hotmail.com
I've had CAPD since God knows when and it's extremely hard to concentrate in my classes due to the noise and my brain's inability to process information. Just watching this made me realize I'm not alone in this world. Thanks! ;)
@Z8SD hey no problem and thank you for sharing with me :) I like to hear about people with the same disorder because I dont know anyone who can relate to me where I live
You're beautiful and intelligent don't let anyone tell you differently I know it hards sometimes, but remember this people who feel the need to make fun of people with disablities are the ones with the real problems, you can over come a disablity in due time, you can't over being a bully in due time!;) I really hope I was able to help!;) I'm so happy to meet someone with the same disablity that I have, I've always felt so alone!;)
You're not alone I know what your going through I have central auditory processing disorder a long with this I have cerbal palsey as well it makes it difficult for me to concentrate in noisy places, it causes me to have serve anxiety attacks and melt downs, it's humialiting but I just have to laugh it off because it's part of who I am and what I go through and noone can change that! Some people think I'm just stupid, but I'm not and I know I'm not I simply learn differently.
@mscraziefulgirl how is walking for you with your cerbal palsey? my half cousin Gaby has it and shes about 10. This summer I helped her swin in the pool and helped her learn how to float. It felt good to help her get stronger :) and hey your not stupid :)

Luckly I was a very pritty young girl and was suported by my ex husband. I have no education , hardly no work history and spent my life being put down and called stupid, but I can build things and fix things. Titnituse tortuerd me for years. Nude dancer for 8 years and was suported for the last 13 years. and my first job at 39 I got fierd at on my 2nd day because I couldnt follow derections. Im almost homless with my 13 year old son. Now Im pushing for disability. You are catching this early.
@porphyria2 Thats very tough. I am very sorry to hear about that. I hope everything turns out alright for you :) I wasn't able to follow directions and I'm worried about alot of things. My parents are getting a divorce and it been hell at home. I also have OGT's (ohio graduation test) next month and that test is what i have to take in order to graduate if i fail i can't graduate but we have 3 tried at it. You get the test when you are in 10th grade, the grade i am in now.
I have it and I'm a 26 year old women just diagnosed. I knew something was wrong growing up my whole life but couldn't put my finger on it neither could anyone else. Often mistaken for hearing problem but I have perfect hearing. I just couldn't process all the information that was spoken to me. It is difficult but I have gotten this far and I have a great job & good friends. We aren't dumb just different & we have to use different skills. So keep your head up your not alone BIG HUGES!! :) h
@nice235 I'm turning 16. I found out when I was in first grade. I wouldn't respond to my parents because I was distracted and I was failing school. Now, I am a straight A student. Yes the hearing problems XD I remember teachers trying to say that to me :) *Hugs* :)
Hey, just received your comment. I understand the frustration and uncertainty facing challenges with this disorder. But having a disorder is not a bad thing. It just to show you have to adapt new methods to make things work in your favor. And that makes it unique because you are doing things that not everybody is doing. Ironically, I for example have CAPD too and it was a challenge. But, I did not let it stop me to get where Im going. To me my disorder is more of a blessing than a curse.
Continue: So I encourage you to continue to stay positive and know that everything happens for a reason. You may not understand right now as a young individual, but eventually you will become a testimony for someone who is going through the same struggle. To be honest, I'm glad someone posted their story being diagnosed with CAPD on Youtube. Iol. That took lot of courage and I applaud you for that. Stay focused and always stay optimistic. Having a disorder is a BLESSING not a CURSE!
@Rucks90 you're right it makes us unique. I guess its a good way to think about it. I like talking to others who have CAPD like I do. I don't know anyone at my school who has it. It is a blessing.
i am a 17 year old girl and i also have a processing disorder, it is very frusterating to read something and not remember what i just read, it is also very frusterating when someone doesnt know what its like and assume im just using my disability as an exsuse to not do my school. its not an exsuse, when i say i cant do something then i really cant do it but nobody understands what its really like.... some days i just want to crawl into a hole and die because people just think im stupid.... :'(

I have gotten into the habit of saying "speak up and speak clearly", or ignoring people until they thought I was just hard of hearing.

You are definitely not alone. I was diagnosed with it at the age of 39. My whole life has been a huge struggle and I always knew something was wrong. I can relate on every level. I have constant anxiety, I can't follow directions, I don't remember most of anything anyone says to me. Everything gets mixed up even with the slightest background noise. So I am sending you a hug and with all the responses you have.... you are not alone.

@pyramidhead138 well some are mistaking words with others, needing to hear one thing at a time or else you will forget, not being able to concentrate, loud noisy places are a problem there are so much more. you can look up a few more online as well.

One particular instance I remember was when my teacher asked me to get a trash can and I came with everything but that because I couldn't follow directions on where it was or what it was. Very embarrassing.. :P CAPD stinks, but hey, I think of it as kind of being special. At least we have a reason for not doing well in school, some people are just lazy! You're smart! Be happy!

You know what I find helpful to do? Just be happy, don't let it get to you. When people call me stupid I get so frustrated, but then I realize they have no idea what I am going through. If they did, they would be slow like me. Don't be upset! Listening isn't everything! It's so overrated! We CAPD people need to stick together! Rock on!
flippensweet48 8 months ago
Aside from not being able to understand anything anyone says to me, I mix up my p,d, and b's, get yelled at by my coach when he tells me to do something on the soccer feild and I have no idea what he is saying, and fail miserably at socializing. I got bullied a lot when I was younger to, the sad part, I don't even know what for! I couldn't understand what they were saying to me!.

I made a youtube account just to post on here. I have central auditory processing to! I was diagnosed when I was in first grade. I was put in the immersion group (spanish) and completely failed. That 's when I was diagnosed. I've always felt stupid, even now, my parents get disappointed when I get C's in school. But they don't realize that I can't comprehend what the heck anyone is saying bc everyo ne is talking.
flippensweet48 8 months ago
@flippensweet48 You are a very nice person to do that :) I was diagnosed when I was in first grade as well. I am now going onto my junior year of highschool. Yes, My parents understood why I nearly failed elementery school. I didnt get things well with school work and couldnt do much about it.
3pinkfreak3 8 months ago
I was diagnosed in 2003 myself. I was held back in school (started at age 7) and I struggled in math more than other subjects. As of now, I'm 23 years old, and I finished high school at age 19. Never got behind. I will be done with college in less than 3 years. I promise you, if I can do it, you can succeed in any way possible! You look very mature for your age, and I want only the best for you. I would hug you if I could. :-)

@currya18 i can't even read the texts books in college bc it doesn't stick. and you wanna hit people who act like it wont stick in their head. the most important thign to do is to pull yourself up and not rely on that you have it..because all that does is make you more depressed and more lonely...what you need to do is show that even though you along with many other peple have it you can achieve through school like anyone else. the achievment is 10xs better :)

You are a nice person, and you shouldn't let these things bring you down. Not a lot of people are perfect, and you should do everything you can to live happy. Just try to live happy, and forget about the thing you have. You should tell your parents and friends of what you have, so they know what you are dealing with. Life isn't perfect, and just try your best. Thank you for reading this, I hope you get to live a happy life, and don't look down, but look at what you can do in the end.Thanks

I understand how you feel. I hate the anxiety and depression that can come with having it. I personally never really get much sleep also. I just hate how teachers and parents just don't even understand it and it makes me mad when I try really hard to focus and I can't. I really want to give you a hug right now. I know exactly how you feel. It sucks so much. Hope you can feel better and things go good for you! :)

Awww I'm getting so emotional watching this I know exactly how you feel. And no, you're not autistic. You're artistic!
And fuckkk I was listening, towards the end just thinking, ugh I wanna give you a hug I know exactly how you feel. And then you said it. Wow, you are just an awesome person, okay? I understand the isolationist feeling, the depression, for me the anxiety, and sleep issues. I know what it's like. You're not alone. I have msn and we can relate. Im 16 too: mike_simpson_@hotmail.com

I've had CAPD since God knows when and it's extremely hard to concentrate in my classes due to the noise and my brain's inability to process information. Just watching this made me realize I'm not alone in this world. Thanks! ;)

You're beautiful and intelligent don't let anyone tell you differently I know it hards sometimes, but remember this people who feel the need to make fun of people with disablities are the ones with the real problems, you can over come a disablity in due time, you can't over being a bully in due time!;) I really hope I was able to help!;) I'm so happy to meet someone with the same disablity that I have, I've always felt so alone!;)

I have it and I'm a 26 year old women just diagnosed. I knew something was wrong growing up my whole life but couldn't put my finger on it neither could anyone else. Often mistaken for hearing problem but I have perfect hearing. I just couldn't process all the information that was spoken to me. It is difficult but I have gotten this far and I have a great job & good friends. We aren't dumb just different & we have to use different skills. So keep your head up your not alone BIG HUGES!! :) h

@nice235 I'm turning 16. I found out when I was in first grade. I wouldn't respond to my parents because I was distracted and I was failing school. Now, I am a straight A student. Yes the hearing problems XD I remember teachers trying to say that to me :) *Hugs* :)

Hey, just received your comment. I understand the frustration and uncertainty facing challenges with this disorder. But having a disorder is not a bad thing. It just to show you have to adapt new methods to make things work in your favor. And that makes it unique because you are doing things that not everybody is doing. Ironically, I for example have CAPD too and it was a challenge. But, I did not let it stop me to get where Im going. To me my disorder is more of a blessing than a curse.

Continue: So I encourage you to continue to stay positive and know that everything happens for a reason. You may not understand right now as a young individual, but eventually you will become a testimony for someone who is going through the same struggle. To be honest, I'm glad someone posted their story being diagnosed with CAPD on Youtube. Iol. That took lot of courage and I applaud you for that. Stay focused and always stay optimistic. Having a disorder is a BLESSING not a CURSE!
Rucks90 1 year ago
@Rucks90 you're right it makes us unique. I guess its a good way to think about it. I like talking to others who have CAPD like I do. I don't know anyone at my school who has it. It is a blessing.
